    I havent used my m14x in a few months(long story),anyway today I turned it on and I web surfed about an hour nothing taxing on pc, just web use,and then it shut off and died!It now fails to power at all.No lights fan etc,I checked charger and it acts like a short when I plug ac in it borks the power brick.The little blue light goes off,like its shorted.I think its the MB,Has anyone had any similar issues?I wasted 4 hours with tech support already,now they want to send a 3rd party tech out with a MB.I got a new replacement last time for bad memory,lol.They waste so much time.I said just send me a replacement since this is my 3rd new m14x with various issues,they said they couldn't.Funny as they did 3 times already.So frustrating dealing with dell.Sorry for rant but seriously anyone hear doa issues.I havent even turned it on in 6 weeks been out of town.Thanks all.
